    You might survive the nuclear holocaust..but would you survive the ensuing nuclear winter?

    I'd rather die in a blast of superheated gas than try to live and struggle the ensuing return to the ice age that would be coming.
    It would be interesting to see how fast mankind reverted to a primitive state.

    I wouldn't want to survive, thanks. The sense of loss and despair would be too overwhelming.

    I agree with Gripper.

    Watch a film made in the 80's called "Threads", that'll really make you think about the futility of surviving a nuclear holocaust.

    Apparently the USA are invading them next year to liberate them and their vast coal and wool reserves

    reminds me of a quote from Gandhi, Gripper


    When someone asked Gandhi what he thought of Western civilisation he replied..

    "I think it would be a good idea.."

    I was watching Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah yesterday. In the event of a nuclear blast irradiating any nearby animals we'd be all buggered up the arse.
    It's hot in Topeka.

    I'd be marked as one of the first ta go.

    I live near Washington D.C., 10 miles away from AAFB , and not far NavSea in Indian Head, MD.

    I'm a goner.

    Funny I was discussing such a thing with wifey the other day.

    I told her at the first inkling that we are being fired on to fuck off work or whereverthefuck and go west to a particular location (that I won't name)

    Even I live where I live, I won't just give up..

    That is tragic on so many levels
